ST HELENA RADIO ST HELENA DAY 2007 WAS A SUCCESS, SAYS STATION
Radio St Helena held a very successful Radio St Helena Day 2007 on
Saturday. The worldwide broadcast on shortwave started at 0530 UTC. The
first direction was to New Zealand. Soon after starting the e- mails
started coming in, with listeners informing the station of their reception
quality.
So far Radio St Helena has received over 200 e-mails from around the
world, including from New Zealand, India, Europe, Japan, North America
East and West, and South America.
At the end of the transmission (which was around 0130 on Sunday), everyone
present accumulated in the Studio and sung 'We wish you a merry Christmas'
and the transmission was closed with the National Anthem.
Station Manager Laura Lawrence says she is extremely pleased that the 10th
Radio St Helena Day was a success and thanks everyone who was involved,
especially to Mr Derek Richards for his assistance. It was an enjoyable
evening and she hopes those who listened locally enjoyed it too.
The presenters were Laura Lawrence, Cyril Gunnell, Jane John, Gary
Walters, Tony Leo, Ralph Peters, Bert Constantine and John Moyce.

For those who want to see photos of the island we just hrd this past
weekend, try this web site.Jamestown photos are particularly interesting -
the Jacobs Ladder looks like an interesting daily exercise (699 steps -
602 ft vertical rise)! The houses in Jamestown look a lot like New England
Colonial style, not unlike my ancestor's hometown in Newington, CT.
